Re: Clear water anchorages on the east coast USA?
The question just doesn't sound answerable. How would you travel anywhere along the East Coast of the USA just to clean your boat?
More practically, its seems the issue is psychological. Poor visibility creeps people out, more than being a real impediment. Generally, you don't need more than a few feet of viz to work, as long as something is gently wisking the silt away.
But, having the creepy feeling that critters may be all around you can get into one's head. I was once certified for black water rescue. You didn't even bother bringing a light or at least trying to use it. In fact, the light itself was more likely to attract the critters.
A full body suit helps most get over much of the anxiety. Thickness should be relative to water temp, but even a thin 2 or 3 mm suit will prevent a sting from anything in the water. Fabric as thin as pantyhose will prevent a jellyfish sting. A hood and gloves and you're invincible. Seriously.

The sixth-seeded Chippewas (17-12) won with scores of 25-17, 25-22 and 25-14.
The Bobcats were the No. 2 seed. It was the second straight victory for Central Michigan over a higher seed as the Chippewas knocked off Western Michigan, the No. 3 seed, in straight sets on Friday.
CMU will look to make it 3-for-3 on Sunday when the Chippewas face Northern Illinois, the No. 1 seed in the MAC Tournament.
Kaitlyn Schultz had 13 kills and four service aces to lead Central Michigan. Kelly Maxwell tallied 27 assists, Jenna Coates had 12 digs and former Midland High standout Lindsey Dulude added five kills and five digs for the Chippewas.

Is GJM leadership softening its stand on statehood and warming to the idea of a Union Territory status?
With neither the Centre nor the State government showing signs of initiating a dialogue to break the gridlock arising from its ongoing Gorkhaland agitation, the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) leadership indicated on Tuesday that it was mulling over alternatives if its demand for a separate State was not heeded.
"We will not talk about it now. We will do so later," GJM president Bimal Gurung told The Hindu over telephone from Darjeeling when asked what action was being contemplated.
Only hours earlier, he dropped a bomb-shell when he told a private Bengali television channel that a time would come when the GJM would be asking for something other than Gorkhaland, even as he reiterated the need for the Centre's intervention.
Mr. Gurung maintained he had no truck with "the Bengal government," adding that the issue was "not a State matter."
He has, in recent times, ruled out any discussion with the State government though he hoped that Governor M.K. Narayanan would play a role in ending the stalemate.
The GJM president's remark has given rise to speculation on the alternative under consideration.
Could it be that the party leadership is softening its stand on statehood and warming to the idea of Union Territory status for the region instead?
Or does it have President's Rule in mind, ask political observers.
Mr. Gurung has minced no words demanding "separation" from West Bengal and there is no hint of the hostility between him and the Trinamool Congress government thawing.
Meanwhile, the Left Front, yet again, underlined the need for talks involving the Centre, the State government and the GJM leadership — the three signatories to the GTA agreement — to break the deadlock.
"They should give up their inflexible attitudes and head for the discussion table," said Biman Bose, chairperson of the Left Front committee and State Secretary of the Communist Party of India (Marxist).
Meanwhile, even as the shutdown in the hills continued, Mr. Gurung asserted that students were joining the agitation on their own and it was welcome news to the GJM.

I'm thinking about taking a look at this boat for sale this evening... Anyone else have some thoughts on it? They wifey said that they wouldn't mind letting me take it for a spin on a lake to see how it runs...
Just wanted to hear someone elses opinion, based on this limited information, but $800 is a nice price if it isn't junk...
14' steel fishing boat for sale - $800 or B/O. This is a boat that we recently repainted and replaced the wood bench seats (approximately 3 years ago). The company that makes the boat went out of business in 1927 so it's old - but it still floats and the motor runs. This is conventionally a row boat, but works for fishing and includes all the gear.

Reviewing 3.94.2 (Jun 29, 2005)
Hot dog! Who on earth found this, now slightly old, version of AIDA? Whoever it was, however, they have my most heartfelt thanks! I still have the AIDA32 v3.93 from back in March 2004 in a ZIP file tucked away somewhere as I removed it before installing Everest Home v2.01.347. I did not install any updates to the latter after that version as I could see from the User reviews that the authors of Everest were slowly removing functions from the freeware version of the program as they will, probably, produce a version that is available ONLY as shareware. Now that FileForum has made AIDA available again, I am definitely going to remove Everest and reinstall AIDA again. I wonder if any more updates will be coming along in the future as the home sites for AIDA are now closed. Thank you BetaNews/FileForum!

Simplicity Safari Jacket - WHO WEARS IT BEST?
Don't ask me just how it happened, I wish I knew.
I can't believe that it's happened, and yet it's true.
Friends, those immortal words of -- Do you know? -- describe exactly how I feel about this Simplicity 8823 muslin-turned-favorite-project-of-2013 (so far). And Michael likes it too. So much so, in fact, that he wants it. Do I give it to him? That, my friends, will be up to you.
Of course, given that we live in the same apartment, there's no reason why we couldn't share it. But that would hardly be worth blogging about, would it?
Before we begin our little face-off, let me show you my finishing touches:
1) Buttons. These six-for-a-buck plastic buttons were purchased at the bookstore near FIT last summer, originally for my linen blazer. They ended up looking too light against the navy blue linen, but they look perfect with this gray cotton twill.
2) Buttonholes. I used my vintage Singer buttonholer's keyhole templates, not that you'd ever know it. It's difficult to get the fabric out of the little hole area so that the keyhole shape really reads. If anyone has any advice about this, please share.
If I were making this again, I'd put the holes just a little closer to the edge than where the pattern has you put them. No biggie but good to know for next time.
3) I added cuffs. These give the sleeves a little more heft and a more finished look. They're not part of the original pattern.
If I'd known this would be more than a muslin, I'd have matched my serger thread, but it doesn't offend me as-is
We decided against epaulets -- too safari jackety for this safari jacket. And no more pocket flaps. And no belt (ruled out from the get-go).
OK, here's more of Michael in the jacket. He wasn't much in the modeling mood I'm afraid, so he's not quite as sparkly as usual.
Why the flash went off suddenly, I don't know, but it does make the fabric shine nicely.
Now here's me. I mean, here I am:
It does fit Michael a little better, I'll grant, but I'll say no more since I don't want to influence your votes. Who knows, maybe you think you'd wear it better than either of us.
In closing, readers, I am very happy to have put the extra energy into this muslin to make it a wearable garment. Whoever wins will get a lot of use out of it, I'm sure.
Happy Friday, everybody!
(Don't forget to vote!)

I could adjust the cuff width but believe it or not, he likes it that way.

The sleeves are a perfect fit for MIchael! I think the longer sleeves on Peter look sloppy (sorry). This is a light jacket, not a big heavy coat. It should be fore fitted, not baggy.
- VictoriaRMarch 1, 2013 at 4:38 PM
You, you, you. (Maybe you could make a simillar jacket for Michael)
ReplyDelete Hi Peter - This is my favorite Jacket that you made this week! I feel that the sleeves are a little too short on Michael. And I see that Suzanne noticed the same thing - I think the jacket is yours! And its a really nice length on you. Well done!
Regarding the keyhole buttonholes - are you using a chisel set to cut the buttonholes? They also have eyelet chisels that can be used for the round part of the keyhole - as long as you have the right size. To me - there is nothing better than a chiseled button hole - they are so sharp!
I have loved seeing your muslins this week!

Japanese paper punch/screw punch for those keyhole buttonholes. They have interchangeable tips
ReplyDelete - AnonymousMarch 1, 2013 at 5:40 PM
Definitely MIchael. I think his arms are just a little longer so the jacket fits him better. If you make another for yourself, you should shorten the arms by an inch or so.
ReplyDelete - firstname.lastname@example.com 1, 2013 at 5:53 PM
It fits better across the chest and through the waist on Michael than you. YET, on Michael it seems the shoulder seams have rolled a bit forward even as the collar has moved back.(??) The fit of the shoulders and collar look much better on you. I'd vote you keep it and pull it in a bit at the waist, and make a new one for Michael with the shoulder seams back a bit and the collar more fitted around the neck and a bit closer on the back.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousMarch 1, 2013 at 6:00 PM
You! Looks too short on Michael - body of the jacket as well as the sleeves.
ReplyDelete To my eye, the back fits Michael a little better and while the sleeves are a regulation length on you, I prefer slightly shorter sleeves. So I vote Michael gets this lovely jacket and you contemplate making yourself another one. Then you could do a double modelling act as you did a while ago with ? jeans? shorts? in a floral cotton.
ReplyDeleteSharing is caring
For the button holes you can use an eyelet punch for a hole and then the regular method for the straight part. I like to scrape the blunt side of the seam ripper up and down the stitching to get the whiskers to burry under.
Might be worth keeping your eyes out at the fleamarket for a pippin punch. http://www.zackwhite.com/Pippin-Punch-316-x-18-hole_p_784.html The new price is crazy. Used should be a few dollars max imho.- AnonymousMarch 1, 2013 at 7:03 PM
I think you should let Michael have it. There's no better complement then someone asking to have something that you made.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousMarch 1, 2013 at 7:03 PM
I think the color looks best on you. You should make Michael one in a lovely blue, that he looks good in. And he can have it fit any way he wants.

Longer jacket & sleeves for Michael, as well as possibly adjusting the way the shoulder seams lie.
The sleeves look a tad too long for you Peter. - Karen SMarch 1, 2013 at 8:49 PM
I think you should share, but as others have commented, I think the sleeves are a touch too short on Michael. Sorry Michael!
ReplyDelete - firstname.lastname@example.com 1, 2013 at 8:59 PM
"For the button holes you can use an eyelet punch for a hole and then the regular method for the straight part."
Home Depot has a "revolving punch pliers" (in the tools dept) available for under $8 to punch very small to medium small holes in canvas and leather. I use one on canvas to good effect, no problem. you both look ab fab in these wonderful jacket but because darling Michael has that debonair touch of lighter hair, i think the tone is more his than yours. i think you need a color a little warmer, not too much, please, but just a little warmer. i love the cuffs and your talk of buttonholers has finally started to sink in, so guess i'll have to take a look at the attachments and manual...
ReplyDelete- Andrea CornellMarch 2, 2013 at 5:35 AM
Fits better on you Peter, but if you want to give it to Michael you can still modify the cuffs, so the leight fits better to Michael.
ReplyDelete I got lost in his arms, Irving Berlin, Annie Get Your Gun. One of my favourites! Hang the jacket on a nail by the door and both wear it when you can.
ReplyDeleteI think whoever wants it more. I prefer a jacket a bit longer like it is on you but that is personal preference. He may like the fit/length as is. You have the pattern all fitted up and this was a wearable muslin so both of you should wear it a bit and see how it feels on and what would make it the perfect jacket. Usually you have to wear something to know if you want any changes.
ReplyDelete- AnonymousMarch 2, 2013 at 9:36 AM
If you have the feeling, that Michael wants it, give it to him as a present, ceremonially.
You can´t resist him anyway...
Jens - TestosteroneMarch 2, 2013 at 9:57 AM
It all comes down to the small of the back (as it always does). This one goes to Michael (with the sleeves lengthened a smidge, please).
Make yourself one with the proper elastic and buttonhole placements. You're amazingly high waisted - work it! This one should go to Michael:) having said that this jacket is a classic and looks great on both of you, so maybe you should consider making 2 new ones for each of you, taupe for yourself and something greyish/bluish to suite Michaels beautiful eyes. With back and sleeve alterations and maybe even fun lining included? Heck you've made so many muslins, why not make 2 more awesome jackets you guys will love to wear?
ReplyDelete- SufiyaMarch 2, 2013 at 1:11 PM
I think it looks better on YOU, Peter! The shoulder seams appear to fall too far forward on Michael's shoulders, for some reason; if you make him one you might want to allow for that, and push them back a tad! I agree the sleeves look a little long on you, but are just right on Michael (sleeves should just touch the table when you put your hand down flat on it.), unless you habitually wear bracelets, of course!
I think I would have put a touch of shoulder padding in, myself; not enough to scream "Padded!!" but enough to keep the shoulder line seams jaunty and square. Me, I have the squarest of shoulders, so much so that when I ordered a custom-made sloper the company actually fiddled with the angle of the shoulder seams because the sloper looked so "weird" with the perfectly level seamlines!. I told her "Noooo, leave it! That's the way they ARE!' I have a set of hole punches that are for the button holes. There is a special chisel for perforating buttonholes. I have a round diamond file to slip inside to touch up the punches and keep them like new:
Can't recall where I got the sharpener...MicroMark maybe?I showed the pictures to my 12-year old son and asked him who should get the jacket. Lars wants you to know that he is "completely unbiased." His verdict? "Michael should get the undershirt because he deserves to have a consolation prize, but Peter should get the jacket because the jacket makes it look like he has swag." I think this means it looks better on you -- in which case, this momma concurs. ;-)
ReplyDeleteOooo that's tough! I think it technically fits Michael a bit better through the shoulders, although as pointed out above, they do pull a bit oddly compared to how they sit on you. From the back he fills it out just that little bit better. I can't believe I'm passing judgement of someone thousands of km away though! I'd give it to Michael and make yourself another one with slightly narrower shoulders,then he can't steal yours but you can still wear his which seems like a pretty good outcome. Just don't wear them at the same time ;)
ReplyDeleteI read your post last night and today the answer came to me in my new tailoring book! You can use one of those hole punchers that ones uses for making holes in belts. I guess you do need to find one that has the right hole size but other than that it should do the trick! what do you think?
Love the jacket and I think you wear it better!- AnonymousMarch 4, 2013 at 12:52 PM
I vote for you ! the fit is more relaxed, the shoulder slope better and the sleeve length perfect on you. And I would prefer a deeper colour on Michael.
Thanks for sharing !
Ève - AnonymousMarch 4, 2013 at 7:49 PM
May be I misses something. But they both look God Awful! And you know it's really awful when two men with relatively proportional body proportion - almost model like - wearing the coat and ust show some tensions on the wrong places.
ReplyDelete Geez, what's with "Anonymous" from 7:49 p.m. Bad grammar, and insulting your perfectly fine jacket. Pooh to you, Anonymous.
I think the sleeves & shoulders are a better fit on you. The back waistband is a better fit on Michael, but that's such a small thing. Are the shoulders a little square on the both of you? Do mens jackets ever use shoulder pads? I'm interested to see if a thin one would get rid of the small drag lines at the shoulder.

Originally published in 1952, The Look of Maps documents Arthur H. Robinson's pivotal observation that the discipline of cartography rests at the crossroads of science and art. Based on his doctoral research, this book attempts to resolve the apparent disconnect by covering a range of topics related to the visual characteristics of cartographic technique, including: lettering, structure, and color. Robinson offers advice that even the modern cartographer will find relevant: adopt a "healthy questioning attitude" in order to improve and refine the graphic techniques used to present information visually through maps.

Operators of toll roads, bridges and tunnels aren't likely to change any minds in trucking when it comes to opponents of having more routes with fees, but they hope to sway some members on Capitol Hill as talk of what to do about highway funding is increasing.
The International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association has released what it calls a "new fact sheet" addressing what it says are the top five myths circulated by opponents of tolling.
Debunking the Myths of Highway Tolling, outlines what IBTTA says are "truths about tolling as a successful and proven way to fund our nation's highways and, in some situations, an increasingly appropriate and viable alternative to more traditional forms of transportation financing."
"Highway tolling is a proven, reliable funding method that is already delivering results in 34 states and Puerto Rico, but unfortunately, federal law prohibits states from using tolls to rebuild existing lanes of interstate highways," according to the sheet. It goes on to claim these major myths around tolling "are making it tougher for tolling to help fill our nation's infrastructure funding gap."
The group says some of the primary benefits of tolling include "better, safer roads; less congestion; more predictable trip times and reduced need for taxes to pay for roads."
The "top five myths" IBTTA adresses are:
In April, IBTTA released, Tolling in Brief, another paper calling on the federal government to embrace additional funding options, including tolling.
Many in trucking are opposed to increased tolling saying that it amounts to double taxation on users, that trucks are hit with highly disproportionate fees compared to smaller vehicles, many toll authorities are highly mismanaged and a majority of the public is against increased tolling. Some of these opponents support raising fuel taxes to make up for road funding shortfalls.

"The Chinese auto industry is likely to reach a peak of 50 million units over the next decade," said Liu Shijin, deputy director of the Chinese Cabinet's Development Research Center.
While there has been a slowdown this year, Liu said consumer demand will remain strong and that sales by 2021 could even top 60 million vehicles a year, China Daily reported.
The newspaper said both vehicle production and sales surpassed 18 million units last year, up 38 percent over 2009.
Growth in the first six months of this year has been just 4 percent, but Liu said sales could grow by 10 percent by year-end, adding the auto sector would enjoy a growth rate higher than most other sectors.
China could also become a major auto exporter in the coming years.
China is concentrating on developing electric vehicles, but one expert warned without "major breakthroughs, mass production of electric vehicles is still a problem, not only in China but also in the world." One needed breakthrough would be to make significant progress in energy density in lithium batteries, while also cutting their costs.

There are so many videogames! More than I can count with my entire, exceedingly creepy plaster hand collection. Valve tries its darndest to get the best ones on Steam, but they just keep coming. Perhaps throwing the towering Select-O-Tron 9000 and 3/5 into hyperdrive is the answer? Valve's having a go at it, at least, and so far the result's been smaller batches of games at an appreciably speedier clip. Last time, that meant three games, but this time it's six. Hooray, progress! Standouts include the piracy plagued Game Dev Tycoon, Harvest-Moon-meets-Minecraft standout Stardew Valley, and the creatively named RIOT, which is about riots.

Payback: Game Dev Tycoon Fights Piracy With Piracy
By Nathan Grayson on April 30th, 2013.
We may have reached a point where many developers are attempting to coexist semi-peacefully with the big, bad, money-chomping wolf that is piracy, but that certainly doesn't make the situation ideal. Pirates are still sauntering away with sloshing tubs of developers' blood, sweat, and tears, so I think a little (or more than a little) spite is only fair. In the past, that's meant theft-thwarting failsafes like Batman: Arkham Asylum's flight-impaired hero and Serious Sam 3's immortal pink scorpion, but Greenheart's recently released Game Dev Tycoon might just be the best yet. In short, the pirated version makes your games crash and burn once they've hit the market because of – wait for it – piracy.

A 3-4 Week Unit for Primary Level
This unit is designed for kindergarten, but could be adapted to other primary grades. Students discover aquatic environments and the living and nonliving things that are found in them, through active observation outdoors and in the classroom. They practice skills of recording, comparing, questioning, and communicating. Science notebooks are used throughout the unit to help students understand and organize information.
Investigation 1: Backyard Water Discovery (4-5 days)
Students begin their discovery of aquatic environments, and start to notice that water is all around them, in their neighborhoods, backyards, oceans, rivers, ponds, and creeks. They practice the scientific skills of observing, recording observations and data, comparing, and communicating.
Activity 1A: Globe Toss (25 minutes)
Where is the water around us? Students get their initial look at "Our Big Blue Planet" as they catch an inflatable globe and tally the times that their hands touch "mostly water" and "mostly land."
Activity 1B: What's in the Jars?
How is water different from the land? Students observe jars of water and land and list ways they are different.
Activity 1C: Water Detectives
Where is the water in our neighborhood? Students take a walk around their school and neighborhood to discover the water around them and notice its characteristics.
Activity 1D: Let's Make a Map
Can we show where the water is around us? Students revisit the area where their Water Detectives walk to make maps and observational drawings in their science notebooks.
Activity 1E: Take a Close Look
What do we see when we look closely at water? Students use magnifying glasses and record their observations as they look closely to discover living things in a jar of water.
Investigation 2: Sea Soup (4 class periods)
What is in the water around us? How do you know? In this 2-3 day investigation, children begin to learn about the tiny plants, animals, and nonliving things that are in sea, river, or pond water. They listen to a read-aloud, explore at learning centers, roleplay, and then make a recipe for Sea Soup.
Investigation 3: Living and Nonliving Things in the Water (6-9 class periods)
Students assemble simple puzzles to learn more about aquatic animals and their life cycles. They look closely at the parts of a small aquatic animal with a listening and drawing activity, and learn to describe and explain the things in aquatic environments by making mini-books, a class book, and a large class mural.
Activity 3A: Aquatic Puzzles
How do we know living and nonliving things are in the water around us? What do they look like when they are growing? Students learn to recognize some aquatic animals and discover how they change as they grow, by assembling 2- or 3-part puzzles.
Activity 3B: Drawing from Description
What parts of an animal make it special? Students discover a new aquatic creature by drawing it as they listen to clues about its shape and its body parts.
Activity 3C: How Does It Look and Feel?
What words can you use to describe this aquatic living or nonliving thing? Students make mini-books that describe the size, shape, color, and other characteristics of things in the water.
In Activity 3D: Our Book about Things in the Water
How can you describe the characteristics of this living or nonliving thing? Students work in pairs to make "textured" pages for a class book that describes living and nonliving things.
Activity 3E: Making a Mural
How do we know living and nonliving things are in the water around us? How can we show this to others? How can we share our learning with others? Students demonstrate their knowledge of living and nonliving things in the water, using a variety of art media to make a mural that shows what they've learned.
Investigation 4: Field Trip Session (2 class periods plus 1-2 hours field trip)
What can we find in the water? What are the characteristics of living and nonliving things? How can we discover what is in the water? Students go outdoors to explore a local habitat. They see, feel, and think about the living and nonliving things in the water. Science notebooks are used to gather information about what they find. Students use their background knowledge from prior classroom experiences, the initial field trip, classroom investigations, and other observations to notice and observe the living and nonliving things of their environment. Students will have plenty of time to explore and discover before being asked to write and draw in their science notebooks.
Investigation 5: Sharing What We Know (2 class periods plus 1-2 hours for Sharing/Celebration)
How do we find out information? How can we, as scientists, naturalists, and biologists share our information? How do we share our ideas and thinking? This investigation supports children for sharing their thinking. They share and communicate their experiences and understanding using their science notebooks, art, photos from the field trip, classroom work, and a mural. First, they practice in the classroom and then share their thinking and work as part of a classroom and/or whole school celebration of the Alaska Seas and Rivers Curriculum.

Socially Responsible Investments in Germany, Switzerland and the United States - An Analysis of Investment Funds and IndicesMichael SchröderCentre for European Economic Research (ZEW) - International Finance and Financial Management 2003 ZEW Discussion Paper No. 03-10 Abstract: The aim of this study is the analysis of so called socially responsible investments (SRI). First, the performance of SRI equity investment funds and equity indices is investigated using Jensen's alpha as performance measure. The analysis considers market timing strategies of the fund management and takes publicly available information into account (conditional performance). In the second part sensitivities regarding macroeconomic factors are estimated and the third part investigates the investment style of the SRI funds and indices. It is found that most of the SRI assets have a similar performance than their benchmarks. Only a few funds and indices exhibit a relatively poor performance. As SRI funds and indices seem to have some specific risk-return characteristics (investment styles) that might be characterised as special investment vehicles different from conventional assets.

By David S. Broder
WASHINGTON -- The interview with Rep. Jim Cooper of Tennessee was scheduled for April 7, the final day that Congress would be in session before taking another vacation, this one a two-week break. It was expected to be a busy day in the House, with final floor debate on the budget resolution that would set the nations fiscal policy for the coming year.
But the House Republican leaders pulled the bill, having failed to negotiate agreement on their side of the aisle between conservatives pressing for spending cuts and moderates trying to protect health and education programs.
So Cooper, a conservative Democrat, had plenty of time to talk about one of the most secretive documents in Washington -- the official Financial Report of the United States Government.
Cooper, a member of the Budget Committee, had referred to the document several times during that panels truncated debate on the budget resolution. Like many of the others in the room -- including the legislators -- I had no idea what he was talking about. So I went to inquire.
Turns out, there was an excuse for the widespread ignorance. The report had been completed early last December but was issued on Dec. 15. The Treasury Department, which compiled it, did not even put out a press release announcing its existence. Cooper said the total press run was 1,000 copies, and they have now become such rarities that he suggested I could probably take the one he procured for me and put it up for auction on eBay.
You might think that the subject matter is as sensitive as the National Intelligence Estimate that President Bush declassified in order to discredit Joe Wilson.
And it is. The cover letter in the report from Treasury Secretary John Snow contains the bad news. Whereas the budget deficit for fiscal 2005 was officially given as $319 billion, the governments accrual-based net operating cost ... was $760 billion in 2005.
That $760 billion is the real difference between the money the government received and the obligations it added in the last year -- in other words, the unfunded costs being passed on to our children and grandchildren.
For years, the federal budget has been stated in cash terms, not the accrual accounting method that Cooper said has been in use for five centuries and now mandated for all private corporations. The difference, as he explained it, is this:
If you go to Target and buy an item for cash, its felt in your wallet immediately. If you buy the same item on a credit card, unless you are using accrual accounting, it is disguised until the bill arrives.
The U.S. government has been running up bills -- notably the promises of pensions and health care benefits for military veterans and millions of other retirees -- without putting the obligations on the books.
That is what is really scary about the Financial Report. It contains page after page of graphs showing the probable future course of income and expenditures for Social Security and Medicare. In each chart, the dotted line for spending climbs far faster than the solid line for revenues. Beginning a decade from now, the shortfalls explode in what Cooper calls a perfect storm of fiscal ruin.
Cooper is not alone in this worry. David Walker, the head of the Government Accountability Office, the official bookkeeper for Congress, said at a briefing last week that the $760 billion accrual deficit amounts to $156,000 of debt for every man, woman and child in America. For a family, its like having a $750,000 mortgage -- and no house.
Walker, who has been traveling the country trying to spread the alarm, said flatly that if the tax cuts now in effect are made permanent, as President Bush is requesting, and spending continues to rise at the current rate, the system blows up. More than half our debt is now financed by foreign countries, and they will exact a price.
Digging out of this mess will take 20 years, Walker said, but the first step is simply to reassert the budget controls -- spending caps and a pay-go rule that requires offsets for any new tax cuts or spending increases.
The Republicans who let those lapse in 2002 refused once again this year to put them back in the budget resolution.
But Cooper and several Republicans on the House committee did succeed in adding a requirement to the pending bill that future budget resolutions at least show the accrual deficit numbers -- a small gesture toward fiscal responsibility.
The message is clear: Congress today is balking at even minimal actions needed to get a grip on the budget. The long-term problem is far tougher, and will require more leadership and courage than can be found today.

Brachial plexus and peripheral nerve injuries refer to injuries to the group of nerves that supply the arms and hands. These injuries include birth-related palsies, trauma and peripheral tumors.
The brachial plexus is a network of nerves that run from the cervical spinal cord in the neck to the shoulder, arm, and hand. These nerves are responsible for stimulating the muscles of the upper extremity as well as signaling sensation or feeling of the arm. An injury to one or more of these nerves can result in varying degrees of upper extremity weakness or paralysis and numbness. Types of injury include pulling, stretching, tearing, or compression of the nerve(s). Some nerve injury is temporary, and patients recover most, if not all, function on their own with occupational therapy and time. However, some nerve damage is more severe, and patients with these conditions benefit from surgery and occupational therapy. Brachial plexus injuries may be related to the birthing process, when the nerves get pulled during delivery. Many of these babies recover well without needing surgery. Nevertheless, it is still important for them to be followed by a medical team early after the injury to monitor their recovery and ensure that additional treatment is not needed. Children treated at CHOP for brachial plexus injuries that happened during delivery are followed closely with regular office visits and occupational therapy sessions.
Older children can also have brachial plexus injuries. These injuries are often related to high impact trauma, such as sport collision or car accident. The brachial plexus can also be injured from a deep cut to the neck area. It is important for these patients to be evaluated and followed closely by a team that specializes in brachial plexus injuries, as some surgical procedures should be done within several months after the injury. An injury to the brachial plexus or nerve(s) of the arm results in weakness or paralysis. Babies will not move their affected arm. In less severe injuries, some babies will regain function in the fingers and hands over the first few months after birth. They may have numbness in the arm, but this can be difficult to determine. Many babies with brachial plexus injuries hold the affected arm by their side, with the elbow straight, and the forearm and hand turned in. Older children will also complain of weakness or no movement of the shoulder, arm, or hand. They may have numbness or tingling. For both babies and older children, other injuries may co-exist, such as broken bones of the ribs, collarbone, shoulder, or upper arm. There may also be other nerve injuries that can be seen as ptosis (droopy eyelid) and a smaller pupil on the affected side. Your child's initial evaluation is typically done by our pediatric specialists and our occupational therapist within the first month after injury. It starts with a medical history, a developmental history, a physical exam and a neurological exam. Depending on your child's age and cause of the injury, your child's care will be coordinated through our Brachial Plexus Program, which can be initiated through any participating division: Neurology, Neurosurgery, Plastic Surgery, or Orthopedic Surgery. The Brachial Plexus Program brings together multiple pediatric subspecialists with experience treating children with brachial plexus and peripheral nerve injuries. Some children may need additional tests during their care to help the team get a better understanding of their condition and determine the best treatment options. Many patients with birth-related brachial plexus injuries recover enough motion and strength and do not need early surgery. For all patients, we encourage regular sessions with occupational therapy, whether it is at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia or locally if patients live outside the Philadelphia region.
Goals for therapy focus on: Typical therapy interventions include: In addition to these regular sessions, your child's occupational therapist will also teach you exercises that should be performed every day with your child to keep the joints supple and encourage normal motor development.
Patients are closely followed by our team for signs of functional recovery of the upper extremity. If there are no signs of recovery or not enough muscle recovery, then patients may get additional testing and evaluations to discuss surgical options to improve function. Early surgical intervention for brachial plexus and other nerve damage is usually decided between three to six months after injury. We carefully follow each patient for signs of recovery and personalize treatment based on the type and degree of injury. Early surgical treatments include: Secondary procedures may be needed as children grow and are designed to augment their function. These surgeries include: Children with brachial plexus and peripheral nerve injuries are followed by our Brachial Plexus Program, which brings together a variety of pediatric subspecialists who monitor each patient closely for recovery and additional nerve damage that may require further treatment. Every patient's care is tailored to meet their individual needs, and may include consultations with pediatric neurologists, neurosurgeons, occupational therapists, plastic and reconstructive surgeons, orthopedic surgeons and more.Occupational therapy

Man, Two Boys Killed In Illinois Fire
Foul play was not suspected Monday after a fire took the lives of a 28-year-old Yorkville man and two young boys, ages 4 and 6, in far west suburban Kendall Township on Sunday.
The fire started in the basement of a yellow, two-story home at 79 Highview Drive in the Pavilion Heights subdivision off Route 71, southwest of Yorkville, about 3:40 a.m. Sunday, according to a Bristol Kendall Fire Department release.
Upon arrival, firefighters found the fire contained mostly to the basement with the entire residence filled with heavy smoke.
Two people escaped without firefighter assistance, the release said.
Firefighters found three male victims, including two juveniles, in the basement and transported them to Rush-Copley Medical Center and Provena Mercy Medical Center, both in Aurora ,where they were pronounced dead.
Dustin D. Nichols, 28, Dustin D. Nichols Jr., 6, and Donovan N. Nichols, 4, all of Yorkville, were pronounced dead at the hospitals, according to a release from the Kendall County Sheriffs office.
The Kane County coroner conducted autopsies on Monday, because the victims were pronounced dead in Kane County. Coroner Chuck West declined to reveal further information about the victims.
Two other victims were taken to Valley West Hospital in Sandwich, where they were treated and released.
No foul play is suspected, according to the release Monday. The Office of the State Fire Marshall and the Kendall County Sheriffs office are investigating.

Type of Document Dissertation Author Rainer, Paula L Author's Email Address email@example.com URN etd-08142012-110803 Title Students with Disabilities Who Contact the School Counselor for College Information Degree PhD Department Counselor Education Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Brott, Pamelia E. Committee Chair Bunch-Lyons, Beverly Committee Member Glenn, William J. Committee Member Murphy, Pamela Committee Member Keywords
- self-determination
- college information
- students with disabilities
- school counselors
Date of Defense 2012-08-06 Availability unrestricted Abstract The purpose of this study was to examine the characteristics of students with disabilities who contact the school counselor for college information. Self-determination was the theoretical framework guiding this study. Self-determination refers to a student's ability to (a) act autonomously, (b) identify goals, (c) engage in problem solving activities, (d) appraise strengths and limitations, and (e) capitalize on opportunities. The current study used the Education Longitudinal Study (ELS:2002), a nationally representative database that tracks high school students as they transition from high school to postsecondary options.The dependent variable was whether the student went to the school counselor for college information. The independent variables included student characteristics (i.e., sex, race and ethnicity, socioeconomic status, disability type, self-determination) and school characteristics (i.e., school enrollment, number of school counselors). This study has conveyed significant information about the relationship between students with disabilities and professional school counselors.
The results of this study provided a wealth of information about students with disabilities who contacted the school counselor for college information. This results marks the first time research addressed the characteristics of students with disabilities who visited the school counselor for college information by utilizing the Educational Longitudinal Study (ELS:2002). The recommendations to school counselors as a result of this research are to develop comprehensive school counseling programs that embody the characteristics of students with disabilities. One logistic regression model was conducted to determine the influence of sex, race, socioeconomic status, disability type, and self-determination on whether students with disabilities were likely to visit the counselor for college information. Predicted odds were calculated to demonstrate the statistically significant, predictive quality of the variables on visiting the counselor for college information. The theoretical framework of self-determination demonstrated an important relationship in whether the student visited the counselor for college information. Finally, a Pearson correlation (r) that was used for enrollment and number of school counselor variables produced a positive correlation between the number of school counselors and whether the student visited the counselor for college information.

Display problems, but not in Safe Mode?
Likes # 0
Posted November 9, 2011 at 5:25PM
For the past couple of weeks, my laptop (a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo PA 2548) has been behaving erratically with regard to its display.
It started a little over two weeks ago when, out of the blue, when I booted the computer, instead of a normal screen I was instead faced with a plain white one, the right half of which gradually faded to a dark grey. After forcing a shutdown and rebooting several times, to no avail, I began to ask around and was told varying things, ranging from it being a problem with the inverter, to a screen problem, to the graphics card. Since then, it had begun to respond occasionally, booting into Windows normally, but I had to keep it in Sleep Mode overnight as it was a shot in the dark as to whether it would boot up again if I shut down completely.
In the last day or two, it's developed a new behaviour in which it will run normally, but then the screen will freeze, flicker, and then suddenly 'jump' as if beginning to work again, only to take on an appearance as if someone has wiped the screen from side to side or top to bottom (or vice versa). After a few episodes of this, it stopped booting normally completely and instead boots (in Normal Mode) to a black screen. The outline of the taskbar appears, though without the clock or start menu, as does the outline of any menus that would normally appear if I click on where I assume anything to be (eg the start menu). Nothing works as such, and the Task Manager doesn't appear at all, which means I have to force a shut down and restart in Safe Mode.
The odd thing is, when I boot into Safe Mode, everything seems to function correctly, though obviously with the usually Safe Mode limitations. I'm pretty much a novice when it comes to this sort of thing, but as I've been quoted £60 just to have a look at the computer, I'd like to have an idea of what may be wrong before I dish out the money, in case it's something I can fix myself.
Thanks in advance everyone!

If OK in safemode then mostly explanation is the graphics driver is corrupt and an update or reinstall of the driver should cure that.
What version of windows?

Can you hook it up to an external monitor to see if you get the same problems.
Or maybe your graphics driver needs updating.

I've updated the graphics drivers (didn't realise until today that the drivers I had and was told were up to date weren't even Nvidia ones, which may have been the reason I've been told they were up to date for 3 years) and am now in Normal Mode, so at least I can boot into that, but I still had to contend with about 5 mins of attempts to boot and being faced with the white screen immediately, so I'm not sure that the graphics drivers are the chief problem.
I'm running it on Windows Vista Home, I believe, with an Nvidia GeForce 8400M graphics card, if that's of any help.
I've also attempted with another monitor, and although it won't work on my other laptop for some reason (neither will recognise the other's screen even though I've checked and they should), a friend checked with his own monitor and was able to bring up the display okay, though that was just after the initial issue, so I'm not sure if it still would.

Experts recommend that UAE property developers utilize 'green' building
Industry experts have recommended that UAE property developers begin investigating sustainable development and 'green' building options for their real estate development. By doing so, they say, they will be maximizing both economic and environment performance.
"The built environment has a vast impact on the natural environment, affecting human health and economy," stated Hashim Al Dabal, CEO of Dubai Properties, according to Khaleej Times. Dubai Properties is actively promoting green building strategies in its developments, which include the Jumeirah Beach Residence and Business Bay.
"If developers adopt green building strategies they can not only construct sustainable communities with indoor environmental quality, but can also support the preservation of energy and water resources," Al Dabal added.
"Sustainable development methods can be incorporated into buildings at any stage, including renovation or maintenance. However, the most significant benefits can be obtained if the design and construction teams integrate this approach from the inception stages of a project," he said, pointing out the importance of implementing green design at the planning stages of development for maximized returns.
Five major elements of a green building exist, these are sustainability of the site; conservation and management of energy and water; value added real estate; the type of used and green power generation and solar cell use.

Construction on the Health Center began in August 1939, but took until the spring of 1940 to finish due to a labor shortage in the Works Progress Administration (W.P.A). When finished, the building was a one-story structure with a basement measuring 60 feet long and 40 feet wide. T. L. Hanson, head of the architecture department, and Paul Jones, Fargo architect and former NDAC faculty member, drew up the plans. The total cost for the building was $25,000 with the money coming from a $1 student contribution each term to the health fund and money coming from the W.P.A.

Ill definitley demo the open pattern, but i think i see myself staying with the 18x20 due to the feel and the control. I am able to really go after the ball on approaches and put it away with a lot of confidence, and i get more 1-2 finishes off my serve now.
The funny thing is that according to my friend, the ball has a lot more kick to it, and is tougher to deal with than when i use heavier open pattern sticks..i think it is the combo of faster head speed and that swingweight. I think if you saw my game you would probably imagine id play better with an open pattern, but for some reason i hit bigger shots with the closed.
Fuji i definitiey think the blade is a winner. How did the feel compare to the legendary prestige?
Whatever works best on the court wins out in the end...whether it's "logical" or not. You are probably hitting a heavier ball due to more racquet head speed...not the pattern. But patterns by themselves don't matter much...its all about the size of the squares in the middle. Some 16 x 19's have the same size squares as 18 x 20s due to the spacing on the crosses.
Yes I can handle the sw of the Extreme, but I don't know if I "prefer" it?. I tend to tire in later sets, especially in the summer and that's when the lower swingweight would help out. It seems like my magic # is 325.
I am currently in a quandary with my Extreme's because I have been losing matches horribly lately, even though I like the racquet, something about it is not translating to success on the court? The other night I lost 7-5, 0-6,0-6.
I can't remember the last time I got double bageled! I am going back to the Donnay F100 just to see if anything changes. I think the Donnay is more tweener like and user friendly for me.

Breakup and Hookup: Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush
Kim Kardashian hadn't even digested the wedding cake from sister Khloe's warp-speed nuptials to Lamar Odom before she made an attention-getting move of her own. A day after the vow-swap, she hopped a plane to New Orleans to reconcile with NFL player Reggie Bush, whom she'd split from in July after a two-year relationship. "We just made the decision that we want to make it work, and the time off was really beneficial for the both of us," she said. "I swear it's so much better and has made us so much stronger as a couple." When asked about chatter that she was planning to tie the knot with Bush after football season ended, Kardashian gave a telling response: "Gosh, I hope so." And even though she confirmed that no wedding was in the works, Kim did take another big step with Reggie. In November, the couple began house-hunting in Los Angeles after putting their respective pads on the market.

Did I just ruin my .38 Spl. carbide resizing die? There must have been some dirt or grit on one of the cases because now I'm seeing long vertical scratches on the cases after resizing. Are these just a cosmetic problem, or will they affect the integrity of the cases?
BTW, I cleaned out the die and when I looked in it, there appeared to be scratch marks on the carbide collar in one spot. Thanks for your help with this. DAL ------------------ Reading "Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal," by Ayn Rand, should be required of every politician and in every high school. |

First try some crocus cloth in your die.
The scratches will eventually affect case integrity, but are mostly cosmetic for 38. Time for another die (gotta love Lee). ------------------ "All my ammo is factory ammo" |

Unfortunately, I think it was my fault. The cases were dirty, but I did 'em anyway. I was under the impression that carbide is so hard it's difficult to hurt it. Much to my chagrin, I found out differently. Oh well, live and learn. I'll order a new resizing die in a few days; I still have a set of .357 Mag. dies that I can use the resizing die from, but I'll order another .38 Spl. resizer anyway.

Whoa DAL, before you buy another 38 Spcl die. The .357 and 38 Spcl dies are generally interchangeable. If you can find the right thickness of washer to place under the expander and seating dies, you won't even have to readjust those when going from caliber to caliber. If your 38 Spcl exp. and seating dies are still good, you won't even need to worry about the washer bit.

Redding makes a 3-washer set to shift between .38/.357, .44 Spec/.44Mag, and one to allow "necksizing" with a FL die. costs about $5-6.

DAL, you did not specify which die manufacture you have, but most carbide resizing dies have a small carbide resizing insert in the very base of the die throat. If you adjust the die so pressure is exerted from the shell holder when you lever the jam, it will most likely crack the carbide insert. Once cracked it is ruined and needs to be replaced. The manufacturer should service and replace the insert but it may or may not be at a cost to you.
If I have understood your situation correctly, it is critical on most carbide dies to leave a small gap between the throat of the sizing die (bottom) and the shell holder. Refer to your die setup instructions for the proper spacing.....Hope this helps. Best Regards..... "Train as You Live and Live as You Train" |

Devil May Cry is an Action Hack and Slash game with emphasis on flashy gameplay. Originally, development was started as Resident Evil 4 but after quite a bit of work, it became apparent that the game they had created was not a Resident Evil game. The gameplay was too fast, the main character was too powerful and the atmosphere not scary enough. The game was instead rebranded as Devil May Cry with a demo disk first released as bonus to those who bought Resident Evil: Code Veronica X.
Since then, the game series has spawned three sequals, an HD Remake collection and has been recently rebooted. Since the release of the original back in May 2001, the franchise has gone on to sell nearly 13 million copies worldwide and has become the standard by which other games of the genre are judged by.

Somalia is revamping its police force and cracking down on crime
Story by Salma Zulfiqar and Gihan Eltom
In 1979, newly recruited policewoman, Asha Hassan Hussein, was the first female to ride a police motorcycle to patrol the streets of Mogadishu. Three decades later in a nation devastated by conflict, now a Captain, Asha specialises in tackling violence against women as head of the Somali Police Force's (SPF) Gender Based Violence Department.
Captain Asha is passionate about promoting equal opportunities, "Women should get the same opportunities in training and career development as men colleagues," she says.
Captain Asha explained that policemen trained by her in the past are now in higher ranks: "I have to salute them as they are now my superiors. There is no justice in the department," adding that she hopes the new era in Somali politics would bring with it a fresh mentality on equality in the force. Saying this, there is new momentum for the police force which is being revamped following a push by Somalia's new president, Hassan Sheikh Mahmoud who has declared security as his top priority.
Consisting of 6,000 police men and women, the Somali Police Force and its leadership are determined to maintain law and order and control crime in this country, which has been virtually lawless following decades of conflict. Officer training is currently underway as well as ongoing renovation of police stations, all supported by UNPOS.
Captain Asha recently participated in a workshop in Mogadishu designed to create a platform for the SPF to discuss issues such as equal rights for women in the force, community policing and human rights. More than 40 Somali police officers and SPF partners attended the workshop, organised by UNPOS on 11 and 12 October. Participants identified gaps in the forces' legal framework and organisational structures. They also deliberated on different ways of improving police efficiency, effectiveness, accountability and professionalism.
"It was fascinating to see young Somali officers – male and female – coming up with innovative solutions to complex policing issues. This shows keenness from the younger generation to face law enforcement challenges in an effective manner," said Azim Arshad, Senior Police Advisor.
Assisting the Somali government in building its security forces is at the heart of UNPOS' security sector work. In partnership with AMISOM and UNDP, the Police advisory team at UNPOS is assisting the Somali authorities in establishing appropriate strategies and coordination mechanisms to help build a stronger police force, promote the rule of law and the effective administration of justice and make Somalia a safer place to live.
